Is a once wide-open title fight already over?

After its first eight races had eight different winners, the first title fight of Formula E's Gen2 era seemed as though it would conclude with a season finale battle royale featuring multiple contenders. But has one driver stolen too much of a march?

The 2018-19 ABB FIA Formula E drivers' championship looked as if it was building into yet another fiercely contested battle that would go down to the wire.
